Some of my favorite L.A. “photos”, however, aren’t photos at all: they’re scans of sketches made by local artists, like this one of Chinese New Year by area artist Karen Winters, which I discovered via a Flickr illustration feed I have set up in my RSS reader. (Lots more pretty L.A. sketches on her own website.)

Strangely, for as many artists as there must be in L.A., there are scant few sketches uploaded to Flickr. Not that I don’t like the photos but you know–sometimes it’s nice to kick it old school.
